Small business owners know the frustration of having to compete against larger and more experienced firms. The 8(a) Business Development Program is a tool that the Federal Government uses to help level the playing field. Some of the benefits of 8(a) certification include, set aside opportunities, sole source opportunities, and the opportunity to participate in the 7(j) Management and Technical Assistance program.
Join the Small Business Development Center at Sul Ross State University and the Northwest Texas APEX Accelerator Center @ Texas Tech University, as APEX Director Rich Lyles provides you with a general understanding of how the 8(a) Business Development Program works. You’ll learn about the benefits of being certified and the eligibility criteria required for certification. We’ll also cover what the SBA is looking for when reviewing 8(a) applications, and we’ll discuss pitfalls to avoid when filling out the application
